I guarantee that, even if I were running SuSE on my Tosh, that it would not work. This is because the external vga connector is disabled unless: a) the projector was connected at boot time; or b) you enable the proprietary twinhead display in the correct mode. [ there may be others, but I haven't found them yet] These restrictions will not be affected by distro - it's the bios that's at fault. Also note that a restart of X will screw the laptop display completely, and you'll have to perform a hard reset ( or maybe disconnect the external monitor first - haven't tried that ) to get it back. The lack of content in this article is disturbing. Steve. -- Windows: Where do you want to go today? MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow? Linux: Are you coming or what?
